BASE HEADER

Thank you for your E-mail concerning the proposed travellers sites.
I can only really comment on the site on the junction of the Leamington to Southam road and the Fosse Way.

I would consider this site to be unsuitable for the following reasons;

1 The Midlands Exhibition Centre, which at present is a highly successful venture, would be badly affected, probably resulting in its closure and subsequent loss of jobs. It has potential to inrease its present business, but no further investment would be forthcoming.

The agricultural/growers business would find it hard to remain in business, possibly again with job losses.

The general attractive rural setting overlooking the valley would be destroyed.

With regard to alternative sites, Iwould suggest that the present Leamington football ground should be considered as the football club are willing to sell, thereby removing the need for possible compulsary purchase orders and the associated costs
